DIY Legged Basket Planter | @fallfordiy

DIY Legged Basket Planter

According to Alex I’m preparing our home for a 6-inch mini flood. Slightly elevating even our plants off the ground – ironically they’re maybe the one thing that would survive (and probably welcome) a slow influx of water. What’s more likely is that these planters will be moved to even higher ground once Ollen starts making his way around the house. I can’t see them lasting long with grabby hands tugging at the leaves, but for now they’re safe from being tipped by both babies and freak weather conditions. In the past I’ve used Pretty Pegs replacement legs and found them easy… Read More

DIY Baby Tshirt Makeover | @fallfordiy

DIY Put a Pattern on it! Baby T-shirt

I’m pretty sure one of the best things about having children is getting to dress them up. Yeah I said it. Sure, watching them grow, seeing those first smiles/steps/words is pretty amazing, but day to day, getting to pick out the cute outfits is very fun. Whether you go for miniature versions of adult clothes, bright patterns and colours or soft, baby knitted goodness you always end up with something adorable. Although saying this I am actually quite particular about Ollen’s clothes. I tend to choose simple designs although I do like some patterns. Preferring things that have been thoughtfully… Read More

DIY Plywood Wrapped Planters | @fallfordiy

DIY Plywood Wrap Planters Made Easy with Gorilla Glue Mounting Tape

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Gorilla Glue Company . All opinions are 100% mine. I love to keep up with trends, especially when it comes to interior design. I’d happily paint the walls every six months to keep things looking fresh. But for most people (including Al… actually including me too) that is just not feasible. So instead of spending every weekend of the year constantly painting different rooms in my home, I just make much easier updates to my accessories. One of the downsides about moving with trends is that it tends to… Read More

DIY Leaf Rattles with the Cricut Maker | @fallfordiy

DIY Soft Toy Leaf Rattles with the Cricut Maker

When I was pregnant I had so many plans to make Ollen everything he’d ever need in life. OK, so maybe not everything – I’m pretty new to this so I’ll leave most of it to the experts. But I did want to make the fun stuff. Cute clothes, toys, mobiles etc.. but it turns out babies like to keep you on your toes. We’re pretty much only just getting to the point where I feel I can spend a little time each week on making and being creative. So anything that helps move this process along a little faster… Read More

DIY Cut Out Detail Lampshade | @fallfordiy

DIY Cut Out Lampshade

Some of my favourite projects are the ones that take an existing item and completely transform it with a quick and easy makeover. Who doesn’t love a fast craft? Especially one that upcycles something you already own! I’m partnering with Cricut to do exactly that with this lamp. I actually bought this lamp on a whim. It was on sale and cost only £3. I had no idea what I was going to do with it but I new it would make a good project. You don’t need to go out and buy something new for this though. This tutorial… Read More

DIY Wedding String Light Folliage Sign | @fallfordiy

DIY Foliage String Light Sign with Hobbycraft

Last year on Christmas eve me and Alex got engaged. If you didn’t see this Instagram post you might have missed this altogether. I haven’t exactly been shouting it from the rooftops. But not because I’m not excited to marry my best friend. Because ever since we got engaged we’ve had something much bigger to think about! Ollen. This tiny human has taken up all of our head space and it wasn’t until we went to register his name that we sat down and talked about our ideas (or lack of) for our wedding day. I’ve never been that into weddings…. Read More

DIY Gym Ring Hanging Pendant Lamp

This is not my first DIY gym ring hanging lamp tutorial. Yes, I’ve already shared a tutorial a lot like this one. The great thing about revisiting an older tutorial is that I get to try something different. And while I still love the original, I’m actually leaning towards this version as my favourite. The blush pink leather is a recurring element in the bedroom. I’ve also used it on these door hooks. I’ve used Light wood throughout the room – which in this small space keeps the room light and airy – so the gym rings fit perfectly. There’s something especially… Read More

DIY Easy Tasseled Rug

When it comes to choosing pieces for your home it pays to be picky. I’ll often get an idea stuck in my head without having any idea where it came from. Once you’re obsessed with an idea it can be difficult to find exact item that you are looking for. This is where a few easy DIY skills can really come into play. Something as simple as adding tassels to plain rug can make your furniture look more put together. It’s the small details that make a difference and make a room look like it has been styled instead of just thrown… Read More
